I have not been following this although it appears I maybe should
have been, so my comments may be snooze news. If so, I apologize.

If you feeding skin, remove it. Trim off dangly fat. Change the
brand of chicken you use. Maybe the bones you feed are causing the
problem. Have you tried skinless bone-in chicken breast halves (cut
out the breastbone if you find it daunting right now)? How about a
smashed chicken breast fed alone or with some added meat? How about
game hens that are even easier to eat than chicken?

Are you giving him supps or meds? I assume you have sussed the boy
out for parasites and/or illness? What's the water quality like?

Are these 3-4 outside visits potty visits or in addition to potty
visits? IMO a 9wo pup should be doing potty visits every three hours
at the least, plus after waking, eating, playing, before bedtime and
whenever the activity level changes. And a long walk is not
necessarily productive for a wee small baby.

Your pup needs activity that suits his attention span, which at this
point in his life is maybe 5 minutes. Babies eat, sleep and go to
the bathroom, with brief but dynamic bursts of energy. It may well
be you are stressing the kid out with these long walks. His exercise
should be completely self-determined at this age.
